Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

The next day, Mike slept until almost noon before finally waking up.

Although today was the day of summer vacation at Hogwarts, Mike was not in a hurry. He slowly got up, brushed his teeth and washed himself. It was not until Franklin knocked on the door to urge him that he picked up his suitcase and left his dormitory.

Unlike Harry and the others, Mike had packed his luggage early, so he could be so unhurried now.

In fact, Mike didn't have much luggage to pack. His small suitcase was filled with Seamless Stretch Spell bags, most of which were filled with gold galleons, and the rest were filled with gold galleons. bought some daily necessities.

Today he was leaving school on the Hogwarts Express with other classmates.

That's right, he doesn't plan to stay at Professor Flitwick's house this year.

This is not because Professor Flitwick did not invite Mike to live in his home this year, but because Mike feels that he needs a private space that is completely his own. After all, some of his secrets cannot be revealed to Professor Flitwick.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Franklin looking at him anxiously, and there was a giant suitcase about half a person tall on the ground beside him.

"Let's go quickly, the train is about to leave!"

Seeing that Mike finally got up, Franklin shouted loudly, picked up his suitcase and rushed out of the lounge.

Mike looked at Franklin dragging his giant suitcase as fast as he could and shook his head helplessly. This is the biggest difference between wizards born as Muggles and wizards who have lived in the wizarding world since childhood.

Muggle-born wizards like Franklin have not subconsciously adapted to the fact that they have become a wizard, so when faced with many things that can be easily solved with magic, they will instinctively use Muggle methods to deal with them. .

Just like the simple carrying of luggage now, those little wizards who have lived in the wizarding world since childhood would have used the levitating spell, but Franklin still stupidly used the handbag.

When Mike arrived at the station, it was already overcrowded. Franklin, who had arrived first, was already sweating profusely and was sitting on the ground in an imageless manner, panting.

Mike arrived very coincidentally. As soon as he arrived, the Hogwarts Express blew its whistle. The whistle sounded throughout the station, letting all the little wizards know that it was time for them to get on the train.

After lifting up Franklin, who was like a dead dog, Mike followed the team and slowly entered the car.

Franklin, who had rested for a long time, gradually regained some strength. He obviously felt a little embarrassed being helped by Mike to walk in front of everyone, so he broke away from Mike's hand.

Mike didn't care and slowly followed the team onto the train, then found a box and walked in.

As soon as the door of the box was opened, Mike was slightly startled. He saw two men and one woman sitting firmly in the small car. It was our trio of saviors.

When Harry and Ron saw Mike and Franklin walking in, excited smiles appeared on their faces. Hermione's reaction was completely opposite to these two people. The moment they saw Mike, their expressions turned extremely ugly. He stood up and ran out of the box, bumping into Mike when he passed him, which made Mike a little confused.

After calling twice, Hermione didn't even look back at Mike and ignored her, and entered the car with Franklin.

Everyone helped Franklin put away his luggage. It was only then that Franklin asked Mike about his luggage.

"Why did you only bring such a small suitcase?"

When he asked this question, Harry and Ron's attention also shifted to the small suitcase that Mike was carrying. Harry and Franklin had similar reactions. They were both wondering why Mike's suitcase was so small, but Ron just looked at it with a blank expression. Looking at Mike enviously.

Ron, who comes from a pure-blood family, although his family is poor, still knows a lot about the traceless stretching spell container, so he asked:

"Is this a traceless stretching spell box of yours?"

Mike didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

He couldn't say it was just an ordinary box filled with bags of traceless stretching spells, right?

You must know that this kind of space container is generally quite expensive because it is too difficult to release the Traceless Stretch Spell.

A traceless stretching suitcase with 1 cubic meter of space inside requires at least three digits of gold galleons to buy, which can be said to be a huge sum of money for an average wizarding family.

And since it is much more difficult to cast a Seamless Stretch Spell on a bag than a suitcase, the price of a Seamless Stretch Spell bag of the same volume is almost twice as expensive as a Seamless Stretch Spell bag.

It is worth mentioning that you cannot buy a highly portable space container like the Seamless Stretch Spell Bag with a volume of more than 10 cubic meters on the market.

Because these large-capacity containers have been monopolized by those large families, ordinary people have no access to them at all.

If Ron had known that there were more than a dozen Seamless Stretch Spell bags in Mike's box, and that the bags were all filled with gold galleons, he would have been holding Mike's thighs and speechless at this moment.

Mike didn't want to talk more about this, so he started to change the topic after putting down the suitcase.

"What happened to Hermione just now?" Mike asked, "Did you quarrel again?"

"Actually it's because of you this time."

Ron's answer made Mike a little confused. During this period, he basically didn't meet Hermione much. He couldn't remember when he offended Hermione again.

"Didn't you kill a lot of Acromantulas and centaurs in the Forbidden Forest last time?" Ron said while stuffing Bibi's multi-flavor beans into his mouth. "Hagrid has told us all these things. Hermione is angry because of this matter."

As soon as he said this, Mike immediately put on a black question mark face expression. He didn't understand what there was to be angry about.

Seeing that Mike still didn't understand, Ron explained: "Hagrid said a lot of bad things about you at that time. Hermione must have been convinced by him. After he came back, he pulled us and said that many magical creatures are equal to humans. Weird words like that. By the way, she also called you a butcher!

Of course, I think you did the right thing Mike. Those Acromantulas are so terrifying! Only Hagrid and Hermione will think that they are harmless, and you are right to eliminate them all! "

Hearing this, Mike also understood why Hermione had such an attitude towards him now. To be honest, Hermione was a bit too much of a virgin, and she had pity for creatures weaker than herself.

To put it nicely, it could be said that she is kind-hearted, but Mike thinks that Hermione has actually never been beaten by society, let alone creatures like centaurs and acromantula that are obviously hostile to humans. Take human beings as an example. If you sympathize with the weak without any bottom line, to a large extent, all you will get in return is repaying kindness with enmity.

As the saying goes, people are never satisfied. If you help others without a bottom line, others will only take it for granted. Once you stop helping others, others will I won't understand you.

In their minds, it is a very common thought that I am weak and I am rational.

But what Mike was more curious about was why Ron was so supportive of him in this matter. You must know that the relationship between Ron and Mike was not very good, and the two even had a big quarrel because of Percy.

But after seeing the look of horror on Ron's face when he talked about the Acromantula, Mike understood.

I once heard the Weasley brothers mention that their little brother Ron is most afraid of spiders. Their favorite thing to do is to scare Ron with spider toys, so for Ron, Mike killed him this time. So many Acromantulas really helped him a lot.

Otherwise, knowing that so many giant spiders were active within less than 10 kilometers of him, Ron might not be able to sleep at night.

"Thank you Ron." Mike said with a smile, "I don't think I did anything wrong. Those Acromantulas are completely evil creatures, and with their astonishing reproduction speed, if we continue to let them go, If we don't care, other creatures in the Forbidden Forest will suffer, and the casualties will be even greater."

"That's right!"

Ron's eyes started to light up when he heard this, and he echoed Mike excitedly. In his opinion, all spiders in the world should go to hell.

At this moment, Mike also noticed that Harry on the side had been hesitant to speak since they started talking about things in the Forbidden Forest, so he asked about Harry's situation, but Harry's answer made Mike Somewhat unexpected.

"I know the Acromantula is an evil creature and should not exist in the Forbidden Forest. But why did you kill those centaurs?" Harry frowned and asked, "Hagrid said those centaurs were evil. You posed no threat at all, and even when he arrived, the centaurs were already running away, but you still killed them all."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the box immediately became dull. Franklin stopped teasing Afu above him, Ron also put down the snacks in his hands, and everyone looked at the silent Mike.

"Harry, my situation was quite critical at that time. My injuries were not healed yet. After a battle with Percy who was controlled by black magic, my physical strength and magic power had reached their limits." Silence. After a long time, Mike said sincerely, "And the support from Hogwarts is far away, so I don't have time to distinguish one by one which centaurs are enemies and which are friends. If the enemies are released, What if it turns back and brings more enemies?”

Mike's explanation was well-founded, and Harry was convinced by him. Although he was still not in a good mood, he had already let go of his deep grudge, stopped talking about this matter, and turned to other topics. .

Seeing this, Mike was relieved. In fact, the situation at that time was not as critical as he told Harry. With the strength of those centaurs, even doubling the force could not do anything to Mike.

In fact, the reason why he killed all the centaurs was because of anger.

Furious that the centaurs had attacked him first.

Harry and Hermione may sympathize with centaurs because they are intelligent creatures like humans, but Mike does not think so. In his heart, centaurs are just as enemies as those Acromantulas. When dealing with enemies, Mike never shows mercy.

Time passed quickly as the four of them chatted. In the second half of the journey, Penello also completed her job of maintaining order as a prefect and came to the box where Mike was sitting to join in the chat with Mike and others.

Oh, right.

There are only four seats in the ordinary compartment of the Hogwarts Express, so I shouldn’t need to tell you where Penello sits.

Franklin is doing better. Since he is often with Mike, he has already eaten enough dog food from Mike and Penello, and his resistance has been greatly improved.

This was the first time for Harry and Ron to encounter such a scene. Seeing Mike and Penello talking to each other in front of them, they were obviously not used to it, and they even spoke less.

Mike naturally discovered the strange behavior of these two people, but he did not restrain himself at all. On the contrary, he even became more aggressive. Those sweet words and bold actions made Harry and Ron, who were still innocent little boys at this time, blushing for a second.

Fortunately, the Hogwarts Express was indeed very fast, and it reached the destination quickly.

Harry and Ron picked up their luggage almost as soon as the train arrived at the station, said goodbye to Mike and others, and rushed out of the carriage.

When Penello and Mike saw their performance, they both burst into laughter.

"You are too bad."

Penello poked Mike's cheek and said coquettishly.

Mike just laughed and said nothing. Just kidding, isn't it normal for lovers to be intimate? If they have the ability, they can find one themselves, otherwise they shouldn’t blame others for giving them dog food.

Look at how well-behaved Franklin is. He has been teasing Afu all the way since Penelo arrived, ignoring Mike and Penelo on the side. He obviously has much more fighting experience than Harry and Ron.

At this moment, Franklin on the side also picked up his luggage and said to Mike: "Okay, I have to leave too. Mike, if you don't want to live at Professor Flitwick's house, you can come to my house, or maybe , do you still want to stay at Penello’s house?”

After saying that, he glanced at Penello with a somewhat ambiguous look, causing Penello to shyly bury her head in Mike's arms.

"I have my own arrangements, so you don't have to worry."

Hearing this, Franklin's eyes suddenly opened, and he said with some surprise: "You're not really going to live at Penello's house, are you?"

"Get out!"

Mike kicked Franklin angrily, and the latter jumped to avoid Mike's kick and ran out of the car laughing.
